Devin Kenny

is an artist living in Houston. Born in 1987 and online since childhood, he has witnessed the shift from web 1.0 to the “social internet” of web 2.0 to today’s paradigm.

Raised on the south side of Chicago, Kenny relocated to New York to study at Cooper Union. He has participated in the Bruce High Quality Foundation University, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the summer program at SOMA in Mexico City, the Whitney Independent Study Program, and the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
